Abstract
nOne of the main industries producing income and jobs in the Indian economy today is tourism. India is endowed with abundant natural riches and a rich cultural legacy. India is a tourist haven because of its diverse biodiversity, topography, and geomorphology, which are found in many of its locations. The Maharashtra region’s Kolhapur District attracts many tourists because it is rich in historical sites, cultural offerings, and natural landscapes. Although India’s tourist sector contributes significantly to the country’s economy, several issues must be resolved. Conventional tourism has resulted in several issues, such as increasing trash output, cultural eroding, overcrowding at popular places, and environmental deterioration. It is now imperative that tourism be developed without compromising the quality of the environment, as this leads to Ecotourism.
The true beauty of nature can now be experienced through ecotourism. It emphasises sustainable travel to preserved areas, providing an opportunity for tourists to reconnect with the environment. It entails going to locations close to the natural world without significantly altering the local flora and animals. Thus, with the aid of sustainable tourist development, a stronger family bond is established. Although Bhudargad, Tehsil in Kolhapur District has a lot to offer tourists, it hasn’t been thoroughly investigated as a potential tourism destination yet. The concept of ecotourism is examined in this research paper, highlighting the potential for ecotourism in Bhudargad, Tehsil, Kolhapur District.
